1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

backgroundWith the increased adoption of technology, the use of digital health interventions in health care settings has increased. Patient-clinician digital health interventions have the potential to improve patient care, especially during important transitions between hospital and home. Digital health interventions can provide support to patients during these transitions, thereby leading to better patient outcomes.

objectiveThis scoping review aims to explore the available literature, specifically (1) to examine the impact of platform-based digital health interventions focused on care transitions on patient outcomes, and (2) to identify the barriers to and enablers for the uptake and implementation of these digital health interventions.

methodsThis protocol was developed based on Arksey and O'Malley's, Levac and colleagues', and JBI scoping review methodologies, and it has been reported according to the PRISMA-ScR (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Statement for the Scoping Reviews) format. The search strategies were developed for 4 databases: MEDLINE, CINAHL, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials by using key words such as "hospital to home transition" and "platform-based digital health." Studies involving patients 16 years or older that used a platform-based digital health intervention during their hospital to home transition will be included in this review. Two reviewers will independently screen articles for eligibility by using a 2-stage process (ie, title and abstract screening and full-text screening). We expect to refine the eligibility criteria during the title and abstract screening process as we anticipate retrieving a significant number of articles. In addition, we will also perform a targeted search of the grey literature, as well as data extraction. Data analysis will consist of a narrative and descriptive synthesis.

resultsThe review is expected to identify research gaps that will inform the development of future patient-clinician digital health interventions. We have identified a total of 8333 articles. Screening began in September 2022, and data extraction is expected to commence in February 2023 and end by April 2023. Data analyses and final results will be submitted to a peer-reviewed journal in August 2023.

conclusionsWe expect to find a wide variety of postcare interventions, some gaps in the quality of research evidence, as well as a lack of detailed information on digital health interventions. INTERNATIONAL REGISTERED REPORT IDENTIFIER (IRRID): PRR1-10.2196/42056.
